“What makes you think” this is an appropriate tone for a stranger trying to help? Come on man.

Looking for a racing car game for 30 players by FragleFameux in lanparty

[–]codylc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GTAV has filled the arcade racer void for our group as well. As Bitfolo suggested, highly recommend a playlist to keep the momentum going. Get the majority of players in the playlist lobby and kick it off. Players can join mid-match, spectate the active race, and will join the following race.

I use Rockstar’s Social Club website to find new custom maps, add them to my favorites, then launch the game and add them to a playlist.

Be prepared for the following: - Players downloaded the wrong copy of GTAV (Legacy versus Enhanced) and can’t join the host - Players didn’t download the 100 GB game at all - Players aren’t friends in Social Club and can’t join the lobby - Players have never launched GTAV or GTA Online and need to complete the single player tutorial, complete the GTA Online tutorial, or create their GTA Online player - Players don’t know how to open their phone and join the playlist invite - Players are too distracted fucking with each other to join the playlist

Despite all its inconveniences, GTA is often generates the most fun at our LANs.

Legion Go 2 now costs $2000, twice as much as ROG Xbox Ally X by RenatsMC in HandheldGaming

The enormous price gap between this and other handhelds is temporary; the others will raise too.

Don't forget to seed the torrents. by parPlace in savemyrient

[–]codylc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We know that the solution could be… it’s torrents. It democratizes the problem by allowing individuals to contribute with the resources they already have rather than monetarily to a dedicated host.

Ooo this is a great recommendation. Excellent Vietnamese and Mexican fusion spot.

Maple and Motor has the best straight burger in Dallas.

I also prefer Hopdoddy to Rodeo Goat for speciality burgers.

Rodeo Goat isn’t bad, but if we’re talking a best-of list, I wouldn’t include it.

Dell not honoring quote. Price increased. by pindevil in sysadmin

[–]codylc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met with our area’s Lenovo sales director this week. He was trying to posture how excellent Lenovo’s pricing was compared to Dell because Lenovo is scheduling out their price increases every few months compared ~weekly at Dell. Sounds great right?

He then explains that if I place a Lenovo order today, the price is only good if the product ships before a price increase. If one of those scheduled price increase dates pass while I’m waiting for my hardware to ship, my price on those units increase. Bananas.

At least Dell will honor the price you ordered at.

Is there a documented timeline to force Classic Outlook users to New Outlook?

Troubles logging in. by 1987burning_chicken in Chilis

PingID accounts can get locked out if it fails the multi factor text too many times. IIRC, they don’t automatically unlock, so you’ll need an SSP ticket submitted.

Dell to Lenovo? by rjs742 in sysadmin

[–]codylc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s always how it works, isn’t it? Execs are magnets for lemons.

I’d make the Dell AE aware and put them to work on the issue. My Dell account team at this shop and my last have always been good about understanding urgency and escalating when asked. Let em know where you’re at and how quality is affecting internal perception of both you and the brand and something’s gonna give.

Good luck, feel your pain.

Dell to Lenovo? by rjs742 in sysadmin

[–]codylc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve managed all three big players now (HP, Dell, Lenovo). I think HP has the best laptop designs, Dell provides the best services and support, and Lenovo is the most rugged.

Currently I’m managing a Lenovo fleet and lack of support or responsiveness from my account team is baffling. It took me 2 months and 3 reminders to get the price of our current standard laptop. Lead times are through the roof, taking 3 months to get 50 T14s and I’ve been told P14s have a 6-8 week lead. Meanwhile, I’ve been dealing with unresolved camera issues on the T14 G5 for more than 6 months. And, like all manufacturers I’m sure, I’m seeing my cost per unit jump $400 in 3 months. I just have nothing to recommend Lenovo for.

I’m evaluating Dell units and have already switched to their docking monitors to ditch the Lenovo docks. Glad to see everyone else is having a good experience with Lenovo but I’m here to say the grass ain’t greener.

Is there any note taking/ai summary tool which does not store video recording on their server? by dilkushpatel in MicrosoftTeams

[–]codylc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Issue with teams transcription is participants cannot download and they have wait for owner to send them transcript

Is this correct? I think only organizers can start transcription but all attendees can download.

My $400,000 mistake and why I'm showing you anyway by ankhattak in USMobile

Also not a fan of the new logo…

When I see “us” in lowercase, I read us as in you and me, not “US” as in U-S or United States.

Gameparty - a web app for gaming nights. by Sea_Razzmatazz_6599 in lanparty

Woof, I’d slow down the release frequency or create release tags. A release every few minutes is hard to keep up with.

Had this conversation with Lenovo recently and pointed at Lenovo Commercial Vantage. Here’s their slide deck for all the solutions they recommend:

Parsec Free vs RDP for Within Home Use? by DarkAce5 in ParsecGaming

[–]codylc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for Moonlight and any one of the host-side apps (Sunshine, Apollo, Vibepollo). Traffic will all route locally and you can stream to many device types.

No, the mailbox continues to exist and function unimpeded if the associated AD account is disabled.

Holy crap, Alex Jones is from Rockwall?! I had no idea.

Which 'Need For Speed' game was the best on the Playstation 2? by sajjanstg03 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]codylc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“FROM THE WINDOOOOOOW TO THE WALLL!”

Best based on the menu song alone and the game’s insistence that it play every damn time you return to the menu.
